I don’t work in a “classic” pharmacy, but I am a pharmacist. Essentially I make sure doctors and nurses are treating infectious diseases in an appropriate manner to make sure we don’t have another pandemic on our hands from drug resistant bacteria.

It’s called antimicrobial stewardship, in 10-15 years I expect most people will know about it. By 2050 resistant infections are expected to kill more people than cancer.
